Issuance of one hundred and thirty-two directives for the mining sector in one year
Head of Iran's Mining House: Today, the country's economic situation requires that the smoothing and facilitation of affairs be on the agenda of the executive apparatus, but last year the mining and mineral industries sector was faced with one hundred and thirty-two directives.
According to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, "Mohammad Reza Bahraman" stated: The Mining House in November of last year raised the issue of holding a meeting with the directors of exploitation and exploration of the Ministry of Industry's Deputy Minister of Mines to all directives from 1392 (starting work) Eleventh Government) to be revised.
He added that reviewing the directives would make it possible to change, streamline and prevent parallel decisions, but this did not materialize.
The head of Iran's Mining House noted: "The issuance of one hundred and thirty-two directives during the last year has not resulted in anything but the destruction of activities in the mining sector and the mining industry. It should be considered as a necessity in this regard."
He reminded that the issuance of a circular stating that new mines should not import equipment from abroad for three years has no justification and should be reconsidered, because today's private sector investor needs encouragement and support.
According to Bahraman, this year's conditions, also known as the jump in production, should pave the way for the removal of barriers to production, and the government should pave the way for the revitalization of mines and its efficiency.
In February of last year, Jafar Sarghini, who had been the Deputy Minister of Mines and Mining Industries of the Ministry of Industry since September 2013, gave his place to Dariush Ismaili, who was appointed to this position by the Industries and Mines Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly.
According to the latest figures from the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade, last year it accounted for 25 percent of non-oil exports to the mining and mineral industries.
The Customs of the Islamic Republic of Iran announced the value of non-oil exports last year at forty-one billion and three billion dollars, with a share of twenty-five percent amounting to ten billion and three hundred and twenty-five million dollars.
According to the report, Iran ranks sixth in the world in terms of the variety of minerals with sixty-eight types of minerals, and ranks 15th with the identification of about sixty billion tons of mineral reserves, of which nearly forty billion tons are definite and the rest possible. .
